Subject(s): Spinning
First Line: They go by three
Last Line: The core slips out.
Subject(s): Spinning
THEY go by three
And the moon shivers;
The tired waves flee,
The hidden rivers
Also flee.
I take three strands;
There is one for her,
One for my hands,
And one to stir
For another's hands.
I twine them thinner,
The dead wool doubts;
The outer is inner
The core slips out.
